CCCR Seminar: Creativity, the Re-mix and the Folk Tradition
Please join us for the latest in our CCCR Seminar series, presented by Ross Gibson. Abstract: In this talk I will examine how the process of ‘re-mixing’ or ‘over-writing’ or ‘redacting’ is, to varying degrees, essential to just about all forms of creativity. Offering examples from music as well as from my own writing and film-making, I will consider how one’s inherited cultural precedents, more than one’s own inventive originality, can be considered and used as the well-spring of creativity. And how this can take the pressure off!
Short presenter bio: Ross Gibson is Centenary Professor in Creative and Cultural Research at the University of Canberra. The outcomes of his creative-practice-led research include a dozen books, several films, radio feature programs, exhibition installations, and live performances.
